The Stars measures 26" and the others are 24". All have rusty pin holes.
The group of photos, from K. Cole, are really nice to see!

An old 1890's X-Cuban Giant cabinet card that I've had for some time. Unfortunately, he is of yet to be identified. Note how primitive the photo studio is (i.e. backdrop).
